Who Issues Warrants in La Paz County
In Arizona an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For La Paz County that means the La Paz County Superior Court, which hears felonies, civil cases over $10,000, divorces, probate and juvenile matters; the Justice Courts, which take misdemeanors, traffic cases, civil cases up to $10,000 and evictions, issue their own warrants on the cases before them. A city with a municipal court of its own issues warrants on the tickets and ordinance cases it tries.
A bench warrant follows a missed court date in any of those courts. Whichever kind it is, the warrant is part of the file of the case it was issued in, and the Clerk of the Superior Court keeps that file.
For La Paz County, SearchSystems opened and checked the court records page for the county at lapaz.gov/156/Courts (page title: Courts | La Paz County, AZ), phone (928) 669-6115, 1108 Joshua Avenue, Parker, AZ 85344, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 23, 2026.

How to Check for a Warrant in La Paz County
The places to check for a warrant from La Paz County:
- The court file of the case, through the Clerk of the Superior Court at (928) 669-6115, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
- Public Access to Court Information, the Arizona Judicial Branch's free statewide case search; the Maricopa and Pima county courts run their own, for a case whose register of actions shows a warrant.
- The County Attorney, phone 928-669-6118, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
- The custody page of the La Paz County Sheriff's Office at lapazsheriff.org/inmate-search, which shows people already arrested and booked, not open warrants.
Not one of the La Paz County pages SearchSystems verified (the sheriff's, the court's, the prosecutor's and the records request page) is a list of open warrants, so a check means asking the court or the prosecutor about a case by name.
The statewide criminal history kept by the Arizona Department of Public Safety is not open to the public in Arizona, so it is not a route to a warrant check on someone else.
Clearing a Warrant from La Paz County
A warrant is recalled by the court that issued it, so clearing one from La Paz County starts with the Clerk of the Superior Court at (928) 669-6115: the case goes back on the calendar and the judge recalls the warrant when the person appears.
A missed date in a case before the Justice Courts is handled by that court, not by the La Paz County Superior Court.
A lawyer can often arrange the appearance in advance. The County Attorney's page SearchSystems verified is at lapaz.gov/154/County-Attorney, phone 928-669-6118.
